Tamworth pair face court on drug offences

A couple from Tamworth have been arrested and charged with a number of drug supply offences after a two-month long investigation.

A search warrant was executed on a house in Garden Street during which 28 grams of methylamphetamine and cannabis were found, as well as cash and drug equipment.

A 33-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man were arrested at the same house.

Police spokesman, Blake Clifton, says the duo are facing a number of charges.

"The pair have been charged with a number of offences including supplying prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis, knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime, and also with exposing a child to a prohibited drug," he said.

The man's been remanded in custody and ordered to re-appear on September 11.

His co-accused has also been refused bail and will re-appear on August 29.
